NASA budget Cuts Eliminate Missions, SLS, And Space Station

Astronomy, Astrophysics /

The newly released NASA budget introduces major changes: the Orion spacecraft and the Lunar Gateway space station are among the projects to be canceled. With a total of $18.8 billion, the budget reflects a $6 billion — or 24% — reduction, signaling a shift in the agency’s investments toward crewed missions to the Moon and

Edible Aquatic Robots Could Be Consumed by Fish To Reduce Waste

Robotics, Science /

When deploying a robot into an aquatic environment without plans to retrieve it, ensuring the device is biodegradable is crucial. Swiss scientists have advanced this idea by developing tiny robots that fish can safely eat once the robots complete their mission. The Current State of Environmental Microbots Various experimental micro-robots already exist, equipped with sensors

Swimming Robot Channels Its Inner Dog to Master the Dog Paddle

Robotics, Science /

While quadruped “robot dogs” can mimic the way real dogs move on land with relative accuracy, their swimming skills often fall short—although some can walk underwater. That’s not the case for a newly developed small-scale robot, designed specifically to swim efficiently using the classic dog paddle. Introducing the Amphibious Robot Dog (ARD) Named the Amphibious

Study Finds the Wealthiest 10% Account for Two-Thirds of Global Warming

Earth Science, Environmental Science /

Researchers stated on Wednesday that the wealthiest 10 percent of people worldwide are accountable for two-thirds of global warming since 1990. They reported that the consumption and investment patterns of the wealthy have significantly heightened the risk of lethal heatwaves and droughts, in the first study to measure the effect of concentrated private wealth on

Revolutionary Gravity Finding Moves Us Nearer To A Theory Of Everything

Physics, Theoretical Physics /

A novel approach to understanding gravity may help bridge the long-standing divide between gravity and quantum mechanics. Physicists Mikko Partanen and Jukka Tulkki from Aalto University in Finland have proposed a new perspective on gravity that they claim aligns with the Standard Model of particle physics, which explains the Universe’s other three fundamental forces: the strong,
